I agree.

Yay Russian Web TV!! I loved Daisuke's program!!!
This group looks crazy.. Go Brian! Go Kozuka!

I'm no Weir fan, but he looked FANTASTIC. He landed everything beautifully and sold the heck out of the program.

 

[iriseyes]

Oh Johnny... why can't he just do that everytime? His inconsistency is messing up my Fantasy Pool predictions :frown2:

 

[Nadine]

OMG JOHNNY WAS "ON" TONIGHT!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::agree:

He landed everything, but most importantly he really performed, totally into his routine with panache & polish! Great job, Johnny, great job!!!!

 

[Nadine]

And he easily goes into 1st place with a new SB score!!!!!!!11:thumbsup:

Johnny should have gotten a better score. I mean, come on. He was spot on, Dai scratched on his 3Lz landing and had a jarring fall in the middle, where for several long long seconds he did nothing but looking shocked. And they got basically the same score. A clean performance should always be worth something especially if both skaters have the same jump layout.

Actually, he barely went into 1st place... by only about 2 tenths.

Beautiful routine by Rippon (gorgeous Rippon Lutz), just a fall on that very difficult Evgeni Plushenko spiral-into-3A. Good job, Rippon, good job!

:agree:

And baby Rippon fell, right? My feed froze there for a sec.

 

[hikki]

Rippon Lutz!!

 

[Nadine]

And he goes into 4th place. He said "what?"

 

[Medusa]

Can we have a monsterscore for the Abbott now? That was incredible. Those spins, so fast, that musical body... Incredible. Best shortprogram of the season so far.

 

[iriseyes]

I love all the guitar music the guys are using this season! Jeremy will be pleased with that debut!

But I love Kozuka's guitar-themed routines even more... can't wait! Go Taka!

 

[gold12345]

Abbott was AMAZING. I really like his choreography and he was solid on all jumps.

And I love Rippon's music!

 

[hikki]

How great is Abott!??

 

[Nadine]

Omg, I'm shaking & crying, who is this American guy named Abbott? Seriously, his performance alone has made me fall in love with American Men's Skating again. I have no words ~ he's exquisite, reminisent of the 1976 American Men's Olympic Champion John Curry ~ he's that great!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm definitely going to watch this Beatles routine over & over & over again, he was one with the music, everything was seamless, just flowed. Evgeni, you have competition for the Olympic Gold Medal if Abbott can land the quad. Seriously.

 

[Nadine]

And he easily goes into 1st place. I'm seeing something extraordinary happen here tonight, I can feel it, can't explain.....
